- Title
La trata de mujeres con fines de explotación sexual en la región de la triple frontera.
- Authors
Barvinsk, Georgina María
- Abstract
The current South American context, defined by the end of conventional conflicts, and by the increasing economic interdependence between countries, transformed the very foundation of border regions. Frontiers have become "grey areas", or more exactly, "service areas", prone to the penetration of phenomena such as organized crime. Women trafficking, which takes place in the Triple Frontier shared by Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, constitutes a concrete example of the nexus that is established between the border community and organized crime, in an environment of disinterest as regards borderline territories, promoted by Southern Cone's different countries. Vivid information concerning the ties that transform the tri-border's population in both, victims and victimizers of women trafficking for sexual exploitation, in the wake of economic, social and political vulnerability, will be presented.
